"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" - Santayana.

Dan Walters: "A bit of political history was repeated Monday when the state Assembly voted 46-31 along party lines for an immense new health care scheme without knowing whether it would work, or even how it would work – very much like the Legislature enacted a far-reaching energy "deregulation" scheme in 1996 that turned out to be a humongous disaster."

- A KFWB announcer this morning prefaced the story about the health care news with something like "Assembly Republicans sounded like the Grinch yesterday..." ok. She could have said, "and Assembly Democrats sounded like pigs at a trough..." but didn't. Wonder what she or her editor thought about the vote.
